A man is arrested on Southwark Bridge after a terror attack at London Bridge

He said while the couple, who were from Cambridge but staying in London for the night were too shocked – but the driver Darren remained calm.

Sam said: “(He) leaned over and told us to get in.

“It turns out that Darren was on London Bridge at the time, and had tried to get people away from the epicentre, as such he took the couple to a safe bar some distance away, and took us all the way to Greenwich.

“The fare was over £60 but Darren refused to takes our money, gave us a hug and told us to stay safe.

“As small a gesture as it may sound to some, in such austerity his actual of valour and kindness have us hope and ultimately safety.”

He said he had since been able to contact the cab driver after a social media appeal – able to thank the man for his late night help.
